“Casandra did an amazing job and even did a meet & greet ahead of time to give us a peace of mind after having a horrible experience with someone else. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again. She also provided lots of updates”
“This was my first time using Rover services and Leigh was great! My two dogs have very different personalities from each other but Leigh was patient and caring with them both (even when my older, more standoff-ish dog was barking at her nonstop ??♀️). She sent me multiple messages and photos during the drop-in visit, and when I came home my pups were happy and cared for ? Thank you Leigh for your help!”
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life. And a variety of other pets sporadically, like fish, hamsters guinnea pigs and others. I have also been blessed to have been a rescue foster and the reward of helping heal thier emotional and physical health and finding their Furever homes. I understand pets are family. I work a hybrid schedule so most availability is evenings and weekends. If you are super close by, I may be able to dropins during the week days. I am comfortable with all sizes ( we have 3 dogs 50-120 lbs) and do respect your training protocols. I always check the fences and gates before letting them out in the yard.
About: Our furry kids are our family! We had 2 akitas and our boy recently crossed the bridge at the age of 11,7. As an owner of an Akita breed I understand powerful breeds, their pray drive and the structured/disciplined walks. I also remain attentive and gentle with smaller breeds and senior fur kids and I will customize every outing to your dog personality and distance they are willing to walk. Our walks will be fun, with good exercise, belly rubs if needed and great energy overall. Your fur kid's new best friend here! Compassionate, energetic, loving. If you pup likes energetic walks, dedicated playtime, and a constant stream of affection, or slow walk-sniff, I would love to meet them. I treat every animal like family and ensure they get respect and all the love and attention they crave while you're away or on a walk. My Akita boy of 11,7 years justed passed away and I would like to share my time with other fur kids. I trained him myself and have experience with dogs from puppy to senior season of life. I have a fenced yard and a lot of room to run if needed. I have a friendly senior akita and she wouldn't mind a company if needed. If I come to your house to check on your pup, I will follow the routine you prefer. On walks - it's all about your fur kid - pace, speed, length, quality of walk.
“We chose Chloe due to her 5 Star rating and glowing reviews. She definitely outshined anyone or any place we've used before! She was/is a godsend for us and our cat when we left for a trip almost 2 weeks. She was happy and, we know, well fed. We know because we got twice daily photos and comments about everything- how she played, ate, behaved, tended the litter and so much more. For the first time she didn't lose weight but may have gained a bit. In the past, she'd be anxious and loud when we returned after much fewer days. BUT... this time she was purring and loving! Thank you, Chloe. You earned 10 Stars from us!!!”
“Rachel was awesome while we were gone. She took great care of our cat over the three days we were away and you could tell she actually spent time with her and made sure she was doing well, not just popping in and out. That really meant a lot to us. Everything was super easy and we felt good knowing she was in good hands the whole time. Honestly one of the best pet sitting experiences we’ve had. Would absolutely hire Rachel again.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life from the age of 4! I was a dog mom of an Akita for 12 years and he was behavior trained and house trained by me. I am also certified in K9 CPR. I love all dogs and you can rely on me to treat your furry companion as my own. From walks to bath time I will handle all your needs. I currently work from home so I have ample time to care for your pets as it fits their schedule you have for them! I am also a mom of a 5 year old so love, care and cleaning up are my specialties. I live in an apartment but we have tons of grassy areas on the grounds, a pond with a walking path right outside my door as well as a park within a 2 min walk. I also have dog toys, CPR Kit and bathing essentials stocked for all your fur baby needs!
“Very easy to work with and made sure my cat was good on my 2 week trip, kept his litter clean and food/water full. He is a very playful cat so she made sure to take him outside and play with him a lot which really is great for him. Would highly recommend”
About: I have over 5 years of experience and I have found that I absolutely love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! My hands-on experience ranges from tiny, spunky Miniature Pinschers all the way up to high-energy Belgian Malinois. I know every dog is unique, so I tailor my care to match your pup's exact energy and daily routine! Specialized Care I have specific experience with puppies, senior, and high energy pups if you need any form of specialized care! -Puppies: Practicing basic training, enforcing commands, and keeping routines consistent. -Seniors: Gentle, attentive care, mobility support, and oral medication administration. -High Energy Breeds: Structured exercise, play, and mental enrichment to keep working breeds happy (and tired haha). I’d love to chat about your pups specific routine and answer any questions you may have! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work less than 5 hours a day Monday through Wednesday, which allows me to be home with pets or check on them frequently throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I am available all days of the week for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I am experienced with crate-trained dogs and can use crates when needed. I also have experience administering medications and following special care instructions. I have friendly, well-socialized dogs that enjoy playing with others, but I can easily keep pets separated if an owner prefers. I treat every pet like my own and work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care.
“Appreciate you so much Abby! Teddy was provided the best care possible and it sure made our time away from him that much more enjoyable!! 100% trust that you will always do what is best for Teddy, no matter what needs arise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts (especially Teddy)!!!!”
“Hailey was very patient and understanding with my dogs. They are a tough bunch so when I had to go out of town and leave them for a few days, I was worried about not being able to find the right fit. Hailey really took a weight off my shoulders.”
About: Well hello :), I am a skilled kennel technician and Dog trainer with a solid background in animal care. I worked for an establishment known for boarding and grooming fur babies, as well as earning my certificate for positive reinforcement training, providing me with the opportunity to watch them throughout the day and night. That includes playtime, meals, nap time, or just simple boarding, and if needed administering medicine to those in need. While doing those I’m also very attentive to our surroundings, constantly monitoring conditions, to maintain a clean area and keeping an eye out for an unusual behavior. I am currently a Dog trainer at Petco, and in school for Veterinary Technology. I do have a very flexible schedule and could always make something work with just a heads up in a decent amount of time. i won’t schedule a day that i am working just for the sake of the animal. I provide loving in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and companionship while owners are away.
About: As I grew up, my first pet was more than just a pet for me. He has been there throughout my childhood and losing him made me a whole different person. That is until my husband gifted me my shih tzu. He has been my dream for over 15 years and I treat him as my first born and nothing less. I made my husband buy a Tesla just so that our dog can travel with us and stay in car in comfort. What else must I say to express my love and gratitude towards a mans best friend. My daily routine is pet care itself. I wake up at 6 in the morning to take my dog out for his walk. Then I give him his breakfast after which I start my duties as a housewife. Throughout the day, I take my dog out for walk three more times depending on the climate, and since he is a shih tzu and a picky eater, I have to feed him like a baby. I brush him every day to ensure that he looks his best. In my home, for any pet that my friends, neighbors or colleagues as ne to take care of, I ensure that the pet is not hungry, not thirsty, not bored and if possible not to think of the parents. This way, the pet always feels happy to come back to me.,
“Ave always does a great job watching my 2 dogs while I have to leave town. You can always depend on her to show up on time and make sure you feel that your pets are extra taken care of.”
About: Hello! Fur babies are the best! I’m here to help you with them as your days get busy with kids, activities, work, pick ups and drop offs. Need someone to let them out during the day? During that 4-7pm timeline when you are soccer mom/dad, shuffling kids, picking up dinner? That’s me! Heading out on a well deserved vacation, allow me to make sure your fur babies are cared for and loved on while you are relaxing on the beach. I’m very reliable, loving, and great with doggies. I am a available in the am before 8 AM and anytime after 4 PM during the week and anytime on the weekends and holidays. My 2 doodles are my world. We play, snuggle, go for car rides, hit the parks, and sleep when it’s all done! I love all things dog.
“Brianna was so good with my sweet babies. I could tell by the pictures she would send me everyday that my babies loved her and she treated them so well. She was always punctual with her visits and spent the schedule time with them. I would highly recommend Brianna ?”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs (and 9 other species) in my home, and I truly love all the fur babies in the whole wide world! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. I’m attentive, organized, and detail-oriented (from my teaching background). I will provide expert, dependable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving meds, and helping pets who have special needs. I’m also big on communication (and sending pictures) so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My home is fun, loving, and full of attention. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! My wife is a teacher so she is always home during the evenings and weekends. I work from home and enjoy having the extra company around the house. I have a fenced back yard and a big playful bernadoodle that loves to have friends over. (My dog can be relocated if your animals do not get along with others.) We live around a lake with plenty of great walking trails and big fenced in properties, lots of places to get good fresh air around us. Typically I take my dog somewhere to play of walk in the mornings, relax and get some work done until the afternoon, then try to get another walk in. We have lots of toys to play with and do lick mats and scent training games if weather is yucky.

Rachel has been a lifesaver for us. She's looked after our 18-year-old cat Gretchen many times over the past year, and Gretchen can be pretty cantankerous. Rachel handles her with so much patience and care that Gretchen is always happy and healthy when we get home. Knowing Gretchen is in such good hands takes so much stress out of traveling. We recommend Rachel to anyone, and we'll keep booking her every time we leave town.
Katherine is hands down the best! She took such amazing care of Pumpkin and kept me looped in with the cutest photo updates every day. It’s a huge relief to find someone Pumpkin is so comfortable with. Professional, sweet, and totally reliable. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch Pumpkin again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little Elm is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,761 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little Elm. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Little Elm. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
